This bundle is an immersive experience that will transport you back in time to witness the power of these infernos, and the incredible human stories of bravery and survival that emerged from them.
The first book, London's Trial by Fire: The Great Fire of 1666, takes us back to a time when the city was ravaged by disease, poverty, and political turmoil. Amidst this chaos, a spark ignited, and the fire quickly spread, destroying over 13,000 homes and landmarks in just four days. A.J. brings this tragedy to life with vivid descriptions of the destruction, as well as personal accounts of the people who lived through it.
In Rome Burning: The Great Fire of 64 AD, A.J. tells the story of the fire that destroyed the ancient city of Rome. The blaze began in the market district and quickly spread, engulfing the city's iconic temples, buildings, and monuments. The book offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Romans and how they coped with the disaster, as well as the impact of the fire on the politics and culture of the time.
The final book, Chicago Inferno: The Great Fire of 1871, tells the story of the fire that destroyed much of the city, leaving over 100,000 people homeless. A.J. brings to life the events leading up to the fire, as well as the heroic efforts of the firefighters and the resilience of the people of Chicago in the aftermath. This book offers a fascinating look at the development of modern firefighting techniques and urban planning in response to the disaster.
Each of these books is a captivating and well-researched account of one of history's most significant fires. Together, they offer a unique perspective on the power of fire and the human response to disaster. Whether you are a history buff, a lover of true crime, or simply looking for a gripping read, Inferno: 3 in 1 is a must-read collection that will leave you spellbound. So get ready to be transported back in time and experience the heat and chaos of these three great fires. Order your copy today!
